Cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer through your Web browser (if you allow it) that enables the sites or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
